I use stopforumspam with no recapture and no question, out of 3000 recent attempts none have gotten throughComment

I got a big increase about a month ago. Recaptcha has been cracked and is now useless. I added a question on registration and the problem went away. I ask them to tell me how many upper case letters are in the url in the logo. It requires a little bit of thought.Comment

Recaptha was effective 5 years ago.
- ban fake email domains
- Bad behavior
- Project honeypot
- stopforumspam
- keyword or link sends post to moderation
- email verification before registration
- Registration time check and invisible fields to catch spam bots
These are the antispam measures that we need now. Please vote for these.Last edited by Alfa1; Sat 8 Jan '11, 2:55pm.I buy 420 forums

Q&A is a very powerful defense, if customized well and tailored to your site it should slow spam registrations down if not stop them. It is always going to be a cat and mouse game, but chance are if your custom tailored questions, its going to stop them.Comment

I am happy to have that option. But I am even happier with a layered security that this offers:
- ban fake email domains
- Bad behavior
- Project honeypot
- stopforumspam
- keyword or link sends post to moderation
- email verification before registration
- Registration time check and invisible fields to catch spam bots
Q&A does reduce the number of spammers. It doesnt stop them.I buy 420 forums
